Hand Medicine Fragrance

Chapter 279 His Heart
Yun Ziyi didn't even make it to the house of the fourth uncle of the Yun family, and was thrown into prison.

Because of his involvement, the besieged Yun family was also in panic.

The Yun family probably never imagined that Yun Ziyi, the young talent who was most favored by the Yun family back then, and the pillar of the next generation of the Yun family, would bring such a disaster to the Yun family today.

"Don't you say that Ziyi has emerged in the court and won the trust of the Holy One?" The fourth wife of the Yun family asked with a frown, clutching her handkerchief.

Yun Ziyi's fourth uncle snorted coldly, "It must have been framed by someone else, Your Majesty will not allow anyone to wrong Ziyi! Ziyi was already His Majesty's confidant when He was still the crown prince!"

"If he hadn't been convinced and had conclusive evidence, how dare Ji Xiang... how dare he send troops to surround the Yun family? This is in the capital! At the feet of the Son of Heaven!" Mrs. Yun said sharply.

Yun Ziyi's fourth uncle snorted, "Shut up! What are you talking about? Do you not believe Ziyi?"

The fourth madam felt wronged, "It's not that I can't trust him, he is also my nephew... It's just that the master looks closer to him than his own son on weekdays, and compares him to his own son all day long, but now? When has my family been so ashamed? It is because of him, and I will be ridiculed by the neighbors in the future!"

"Ignorant woman!" The fourth master of the Yun family slapped the table angrily, and the cups jumped up when he slapped, "What shame? What ridicule? If it is a misunderstanding, Ziyi was framed and wronged, the Holy Majesty will decide Rehabilitate him! What is there to be ashamed of and laughed at? If it is really..."

The fourth master of the Yun family let out a long sigh, looked up at the door, and forgot to speak for a long time.

His faint sigh startled the fourth lady of the Yun family, leaning forward her upper body, she asked nervously, "What if...?"

"If it's not a misunderstanding...it's really the Holy Majesty's will, whether the Yun family can be alone or not, I'm afraid it's a matter of two opinions...At that time, even if you want to hear the ridicule from the neighbors, you won't be able to hear it." The fourth master of the Yun family The tone was low, and the temperature in the room seemed to have cooled down instantly.

The fourth lady of the Yun family raised her hand to cover her mouth, and the veil slipped from her hand without realizing it.

Yun Ziyi was thrown into prison and was locked up for a whole day and night before he met the first person who came to visit him.

His face is not small, and the one who came to see him was Ji Bocai, the prime minister who is now in power.

"Mr. Yun is safe and sound." Standing outside the prison door, Ji Bocai said softly.

Yun Ziyi sat on the cattail grass, raised her head when she heard the sound, and sneered, "Ji Xiang is on top, now Yun is just a prisoner under his rank, how can he say he is safe?"

Ji Bocai squinted at him, and shook his head for a long time, "I thought about it all day and night before I came to see you, because I really couldn't figure it out, so I had to ask Mr. Yun to explain it to me."

"Hehe, is there anything in the world today that Ji Xiang can't understand and even has a headache? Ji Xiangruo doesn't understand, and others can't understand, so don't beat me." Yun Ziyi shook his head and said.

"No." Ji Bocai looked down at him deeply, "Only you can explain this question, and I can only ask you for advice."

Yun Ziyi pursed her lips, already understood his purpose in her heart, she lowered her eyes and stopped looking at him.

But he couldn't stop Ji Bocai's voice from entering his ears.

"When we were in Songzhou, we also met once. I even heard that you deliberately detoured Songzhou in order to follow my cousin. When I learned that she was going to the capital, I specially hired People from the Escort Bureau escorted you to Beijing just to be able to go with her." Ji Bocai said slowly.

Yun Ziyi's expression changed slightly when the old things were mentioned.

It's just that the light in this prison is too dark for people to see his face clearly.

"So, you cared about my cousin very much, right?" Ji Bocai stared at him and asked.

Yun Ziyi just sat silently and didn't speak for a long time.

Ji Bocai was extremely busy on weekdays, but now he was extremely patient, waiting quietly through the prison door, waiting for him to speak on his own initiative.

"Yes." Yun Ziyi finally nodded, but did not raise his eyes to look at him. He looked down at his own toes, at his hands hanging on his knees, "I care about her very much. Ever since the first time outside the city gate From the moment I saw her, she was in my heart and I will never forget it.”

"You care about her, but you still hurt her like this!" Ji Bocai raised his hand and grabbed the cell door violently.

The iron prison door rattled dully.

Yun Ziyi raised her head sharply, staring at Ji Bocai, "I didn't harm her, I did it to save her!"

Ji Bocai frowned, "Save her? You teamed up with Ma Wenzhao to rob her of the medicine she worked so hard to make, and you deliberately let Su Wu and Suye go around to lure Liang Yue away, and even lured Brother Xuan away, so that Ma Wenzhao could take advantage of it." The machine has robbed my concubine, are you saving her?"

"I'm saving her! It's just that you're too stupid to understand!" Yun Ziyi suddenly got up, stood in the prison, and shouted at Ji Bocai with a stern voice.

Ji Bocai sneered, "Ha, I'm stupid and can't understand!?"

Yun Ziyi frowned, "What else can she gain in Dazhou? Will the reputation ruined for Zhao Yuanzhen be restored because of Dazhou's victory? She was pregnant before marriage and made it public. She has long been the laughing stock of Dazhou people ! This will be a stain on her for the rest of her life, no matter whether the outcome of the final war is victory or defeat! It will not be good for her reputation!"

Ji Bocai squinted at him, "So, are you going to help Ma Wenzhao and the people of Chu plot against her? Have you ever imagined what will happen to her if she falls into Ma Wenzhao's hands? What kind of danger?"

"Ma Wenzhao likes her, and he doesn't hesitate to use Chengchi Baoyu to marry her. He won't do anything to the woman he loves." Yun Ziyi said hastily.

"You're deceiving yourself!" Ji Bocai interrupted him in a cold voice, "Will Ma Wenzhao force her? Will Ma Wenzhao hurt her when he can't ask for it? When he learns that she is pregnant with Zhao Yuanzhen's heir, how can Ma Wenzhao still do it?" put up with her?"

Yun Ziyi's face became extremely ugly.

"You didn't save her, you wanted to kill her! And you also want to make yourself feel at ease!" Ji Bocai looked directly at him, and said coldly, "I finally understand! Because I can't get it, I hate it because I can't get it." You don't want her to live at all, you want her to die, you know that Ma Wenzhao can't tolerate Zhao Yuanzhen's child, but you can't tolerate it yourself. But you don't want your hands to be stained with blood, so you pushed her to Ma Wenzhao's Beside!"

There was a brief silence between the two, separated by the cold prison door.

"Why didn't I suspect you? Didn't I think of it? I thought that you like her, so you will protect her no matter what, at least...you won't harm her." Ji Bocai shook his head repeatedly, and couldn't help sighing, " Never thought that your love is not fulfillment, but destruction."

"You are talking nonsense! You are guessing, this is all your wishful thinking. I didn't think so. I didn't mean to harm her! How could I harm her? I want to give her a better life and a better reputation, no Flawed reputation. Ma Wenzhao said that she will be honored as a queen, and she will become the queen of Chu!" Yun Ziyi said through gritted teeth.

Ji Bocai shook his head again and again, "Yun Ziyi, you are very clear that what she wants is not the queen's favor. If she cared about her fame in the world, she wouldn't be pregnant with Zhao Yuanzhen's child at this time, let alone marry her. Your pregnancy was made public at the banquet. You are jealous! You are not the one who is jealous of her maintenance and consideration! So you want to destroy her and Zhao Yuanzhen! The result you want is Zhao Yuanzhen Bing Lost like a mountain, what you want is to see her die at the hands of Ma Wenzhao, or to annihilate her love for Zhao Yuanzhen under Ma Wenzhao's coercion."

Yun Ziyi's face was cold, she clenched her fists tightly, and looked at Ji Bocai full of resentment.

"Your heart is really cruel." Ji Bocai said, "Your feelings for her are not liking at all."

"Do you have someone you like? Do you know what feelings are? How dare you make such rash judgments? Wait until you fall in love yourself, and then judge others!" Yun Ziyi said with a cold snort.

Ji Bocai couldn't help pursing his lips, his eyes were narrowed, as if a person's voice and smile were right in front of his eyes and ears.

But he shook his head violently, and said in a deep voice, "In my opinion, liking someone and really loving someone is to fulfill her and let her have what she wants. It's not about keeping her by her side alone, giving her you want to give."

Yun Ziyi frowned, "No, what she wants is wrong, should I give it to her too? To love her, I want to give her what is right!"

"What is right? What is wrong? What is your criterion? Is it gossip from others? Is it a law? Or do you think?" Ji Bocai snorted, "I thought the seventh son of the Yun family was young Hui, the calmness and maturity of the mind is very remarkable. I only found out today, but that’s all.”

After finishing speaking, Ji Bocai walked out.

"Stop!" Yun Ziyi suddenly took two steps forward and called out to him.

Ji Bocai turned around, "Your Master Yun, what advice do you have?"

"Negotiating peace with the Kingdom of Shu and sending Yuandan to the Kingdom of Shu..." Yun Ziyi asked slowly, frowning.

"It's a fake, the purpose is to test out the villains around the Holy Majesty! To find out who has repeatedly betrayed the Holy Majesty and put the princess in danger!" Ji Bocai said.

"Crisis..." Yun Ziyi frowned and muttered.

Ji Bocai turned around again, went back to the prison door, looked at Yun Ziyi inside, and said, "Princess Changming is now in the hands of Ma Wenzhao, even if the saint sent a portrait of the princess, he couldn't stop her from taking her away." Those who leave, you contributed a lot from it, right?"

Yun Ziyi suddenly looked up at him.He made fake household registration documents for Ma Wenzhao and others. He was on duty by the Holy Majesty's side, and he was the counselor of the Holy Majesty.Naturally, it is possible to deceive the people who are interrogated by the city gate and let them go unimpeded.

"If anything goes wrong between her and the child in her womb, Ma Wenzhao is the murderer, and so are you!" Ji Bocai said, "You pushed her into the fire with your own hands!"

Yun Ziyi shook her head, "I'm not, I'm not..."

Ji Bocai looked at him indifferently, turned his eyes away, and strode out of the prison.

The sky outside was gloomy, as if a rain was brewing.

He heaved a long sigh, Princess Changming, that smart and beautiful girl, no matter if she is his cousin or not... is she okay now?Under Ma Wenzhao's hands, can she protect herself well?
Now, no one is by her side, she can only rely on herself.

There was very little they could do for her.

What he can do for her is to negotiate with the Shu Kingdom as soon as possible. As long as the Shu Kingdom retreats and Ma Wenzhao is alone and has no help, the Chu Kingdom will not last long!
"Master Xiang, shall we go back to the palace?" Ji Bocai got into the carriage, and the coachman hurriedly asked in a low voice.

Ji Bocai shook his head slightly, "Go to the inn."

"Master Xiang is tired from running around all the time, why don't you go back home to rest..."

"Go to the inn where Mr. Wei is staying!" Ji Bocai interrupted the coachman in a cold voice, the people his parents arranged for him to serve him were really more verbose than the other!If it wasn't for filial piety, because he, as the prime minister, set an example, he would definitely drive these chattering people out of the prime minister's residence!
Wei Liao was still sleeping on the bed, when Ji Bocai came, he ordered someone to drag him out of the bed.

Wei Liao rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "It's so early in the morning, Mr. Xiang is so diligent!"

"It's almost noon, so the time in Shu is different from that in Dazhou?" Ji Bocai said with a half-smile.

Wei Liao quickly corrected his face. These words involved the dignity of the country, so don't be careless, "My country's monarch is diligent and takes care of everything. As a subject, we naturally don't want to be lazy alone. Now that there is no monarch around to influence us, we are far away from the glory of the monarch. I just got tired and lazy, I really shouldn't! I shouldn't!"

Ji Bocai smiled slightly, "Now that the villain next to the Holy Majesty has been captured, it's time for us to talk about the big things between us. Mr. Wei can also quickly return to the King of Shu, and continue to be impressed by the King's diligence and self-denial. gone."

Wei Liao rolled his eyes slightly, and said with a chuckle, "No rush, no hurry, Zhou Guo's capital is bustling and lively, and the folk customs are very good, so I'm not in a hurry to stay longer."

When Da Zhou was in a hurry, he couldn't be in a hurry. It was the slow delay that forced Da Zhou to agree to his conditions.

Naturally, Ji Bocai saw through his plan at a glance, nodded slightly and said, "Since Mr. is not in a hurry, let's take a break. After the Chu State gains advantage by relying on the soldiers and horses on the border of the Shu State, then turn around again." Come on, take a hard bite of Shu. Only then will you understand when to be anxious and when not to be anxious."

After speaking, Ji Bocai got up and walked out.

Wei Liao lowered his eyes and turned his eyes wildly. Before Ji Bocai walked out of the room, he couldn't sit still, "Wait! Ji Xiang, go slowly, change clothes when I'm here, and enter the palace with you!"

……

"Let's go!" Chai Sujin was in a sleepy dream.

But suddenly he was pulled up by someone.

She was slightly startled, "What?"

When he opened his eyes, he saw Ma Wenzhao's slightly stubbled and tired face.

"What are you doing?" Chai Sujin asked sharply.

"Take you away." Ma Wenzhao's voice was cold, seemingly without emotion.

"Where are you going?" Chai Sujin was dragged by him, wearing only her underwear, staggered towards the outside.

There are many torches and lanterns in the courtyard, as well as servants rushing to and fro, lighting chariots and horses to salute.

Chai Sujin frowned, and suddenly a gust of night wind blew by, she couldn't help shivering.

Ma Wenzhao turned his face to the side and glanced at her lightly.

The two hadn't seen each other since that night when he was "drunk" and offended her, and she bit his lip.

He didn't come to look for her, so she naturally hid in her room and didn't go anywhere.

They were familiar with each other, but now they seemed to be separated by tens of thousands of miles. Although the distance was only one cubit, it seemed that there were thousands of mountains and rivers.

She couldn't understand his cold eyes, and she didn't want to understand.

"Is it cold?" Ma Wenzhao asked with downcast eyes.

Chai Sujin shook her head, "Why are you leaving all of a sudden?"

Ma Wenzhao ignored her question, but took off his coat and put it on her body, and tightened the neckline for her.

Chai Sujin frowned, but he held her hand involuntarily and got into the carriage.

"Please take a step ahead, Your Majesty."

Chai Sujin heard someone report from outside.

The large and comfortable carriage moved slowly.

She came to the car window, raised her hand to lift the curtains, and took another look at the yard where she had lived for a long time.

In the darkness of night, this courtyard was so unfamiliar, as if seeing it for the first time, and the sound of hurried footsteps made people even more flustered.

"Sleep a little longer." Ma Wenzhao pulled her back from the window and pressed her on the couch in the car.

Chai Sujin looked at him defensively, and retreated back.

Ma Wenzhao frowned, "You don't have to be so defensive."

"Where are you going?" Chai Sujin asked in a deep voice.

"Aren't you planning to live here forever?" Ma Wenzhao replied with a half-smile.

When the carriage left the yard, its speed became faster and faster.

Listening to the sound of horseshoes outside the carriage, many people followed behind the carriage.

This is just a small town on the border of Chu State. Naturally, Ma Wenzhao couldn't stay here all the time, he would always go back.

But isn't it the time when the allied forces of Chu and Shu are fighting against the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty?How could he leave in peace?Or in such a hurry in the middle of the night?

Chai Sujin's eyes lit up.

There was only one reason why Ma Wenzhao left in such a hurry, and that was that he didn't need to stay here anymore. Whether the Chu army won or lost, he didn't need to stay any longer.

But walking in such a hurry, the result is self-evident.

"The Chu army was defeated?" Chai Sujin asked, with a lighthearted tone in his tone.

Ma Wenzhao gave her a cold look, "Do you think you can escape from my grasp?"

Chai Sujin shook her head slightly, "I'm relieved when you say that."

Ma Wenzhao frowned, looking gloomy.

"My life or death alone is not important. If your ambition can't be fulfilled, you will be happy." Chai Sujin breathed a long sigh of relief, and really lay down on the couch comfortably, "You can have a good sleep now."

Ma Wenzhao pursed his lips, approached her suddenly, and pulled her up from the couch, "Are you happy to see that I am unhappy, unhappy?"

Chai Sujin hooked the corner of her mouth, "What do you think?"

"Since that's the case, I'm going to do something satisfying to make myself happy." Ma Wenzhao stretched out his hand to unbutton her.

Chai Sujin's stomach was slightly swollen, and he was sitting so close to her, which made her feel oppressed.

"As a king, as a man, what else can you do besides bullying me, a little girl?" Chai Sujin asked immediately.

Ma Wenzhao paused, "It's not wise to provoke me at this time."

"I can't make you happy anyway, does it make any difference to me?" Chai Sujin squinted at him and asked.

Ma Wenzhao looked down at the hand that was protecting her slightly protruding stomach, "I don't want to hurt you, I never wanted to, especially at this time. Believe it or not."

Chai Sujin nodded slightly, "If you sit farther away, maybe I can believe it."

Ma Wenzhao looked at her silently for a moment, then withdrew his hand from holding her collar, and indeed sat a little further away.

Only then did Chai Sujin feel that her breathing was a little easier, although she really wanted to laugh out loud, seeing him leaving in such a mess, she really wanted to sarcastically say a few words to him.

But just one sentence just now made the thorns all over his body stand on end.For the sake of the child in her womb, Chai Sujin decided to endure.

"Can we still get along like before?" Ma Wenzhao looked at her sideways and asked, "Like when we just met, when we first met?"

Chai Sujin shook her head slightly, "I'm afraid, can't it?"

"I didn't lose to Da Zhou, nor did I lose to Zhao Yuanzhen. I lost to myself, to you." Ma Wenzhao suddenly said seriously.

Chai Sujin frowned slightly, "Me?"

"I can't bear it... I can't bear to torture you, I can't bear to persecute you again and again. So I want to take you away." Ma Wenzhao said coldly.

Chai Sujin shook her head slightly, puzzled in her eyes.

"You know, the condition that the Kingdom of Shu agreed to help me is that I will capture you and provide them with Yangyuan Pill." Ma Wenzhao looked straight at her, "Because I couldn't get it out, and the soldiers and horses of the Kingdom of Zhou didn't give it away. Very brave. The Kingdom of Shu did not want to fight this war of attrition, so they secretly sent envoys to the Kingdom of Zhou to negotiate a settlement."

Chai Sujin nodded slightly, the great war was laborious and costly, the defeat made the people suffer, and the victory made the people suffer too.

Not fighting is the wisest and most sympathetic to the people.Therefore, the king who does not use his own ambition to put the people in trouble and chaos is the real wise king.

"If I were the king of Shu, I would do the same." Chai Sujin said slowly.

"So the key here, the key to victory and defeat, is you who seem the most weak and innocent." Ma Wenzhao looked at her and said.

Chai Sujin frowned.

"As long as I hold you in my hand, as long as I can drive you, I can win the final victory of this war." Ma Wenzhao said.

Chai Sujin curled her lips in disapproval.

"If I force you to make Yangyuan Pill to appease Shu Kingdom. How long do you think Zhao Yuanzhen can last? How long can Zhou Kingdom last?" Ma Wenzhao squinted at her.

"You really think highly of Yangyuan Pill, but also look down on me." Chai Sujin chuckled lightly and said casually.

"Oh?" Ma Wenzhao raised his eyebrows.

The carriage was speeding, and the morning bird's cry seemed to be faintly heard from the window.

"Zhao Yuanzhen won because he was fighting to resist aggression. The people of Zhou did not make any mistakes, but you led their troops to invade. You are not following the way of heaven. Yangyuan Dan only played a small role in it." Chai Sujin said, "Even without Yangyuan Pill, do you think you can beat Da Zhou?"

Ma Wenzhao shook his head unconvinced.

"I said you underestimated me because, no matter how great or insignificant your contribution to raising Yuandan is, I will not be a tiger under your persecution! Isn't it just a life, oh, it is Two lives." She stroked her slightly swollen belly, and a particularly gentle smile appeared on her face, "Two lives, are they more important than the tens of millions of people in Da Zhou?"

Ma Wenzhao snorted coldly, "It's just that I sympathize with you and tell you this, so I don't plan to persecute you again."

"Then I would like to thank you very much." Chai Sujin smiled mockingly.

"You don't need to thank me. I gave up Yangyuan Pill, but I don't want to give up on you." Ma Wenzhao looked into her eyes, "Maybe if I give up Yangyuan Pill, it can give us a chance to start again? There is no war, no persecution , can you see clearly my heart for you?"

Chai Sujin frowned slightly, "Aren't you awake?"

"Just like when we first met, we got to know each other again and got along again. Now I don't have to hide my identity, and you don't have to think about revenge anymore." Smiling peacefully, "Without the influence of all this, I think we can get along very well."

"Do you think that the differences between us are caused by the environment?" Chai Sujin asked.

Ma Wenzhao nodded, "Yes, if it wasn't for the wrong timing, we wouldn't be where we are today."

Chai Sujin shook her head again and again, "Do you know what it means to be obsessed with obsession? You have always put interests first, and everyone around you can be used by you. There is no principle or bottom line. You think you don't hide your identity and don't use me to raise Yuandan , there will be no conflicts between us? Can we get along harmoniously?"

Ma Wenzhao squinted at her, "What do you mean?"

"We are not the same kind of people. Different goals and desires are the root of our conflicts." Chai Sujin closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "Even if there were no conflicts at the beginning, there would be other things. We are called to meet and go farther and farther. Because our choices will always be different."

"I don't believe it." Ma Wenzhao frowned, "You and Zhao Yuanzhen are the same? Wouldn't there be conflicts? Wouldn't they go further and further?"

Chai Sujin smiled, "People who are suitable to be together will accommodate each other in order to resolve conflicts. People who are not suitable to be together will only think that conflicts are unreasonable troubles of the other party."

"Don't talk about it." Ma Wenzhao closed his eyes, "This is just an excuse for you to prevaricate. It's all because he is in your heart, and I...appeared too late."

"You see, this is a contradiction. I want you to understand. But you just feel that I am prevaricating you." Chai Sujin shook his head, "Let me ask you another question. This question may let you understand. Can we go back to the beginning?"

Ma Wenzhao looked at her.

"If I want you to give up your status as the king of a country now, and follow me to travel all over the world, stay wherever you get tired, stay there, open a small medical clinic, work on farming, and support yourself. If you get tired, keep going , looking for the next place worth stopping. Live such an ordinary and meaningful life," Chai Sujin looked up at him, "Are you willing?"
